i hate my jerry can, you cannot just throw it in the truck and go it will fall over on the first turn. it emptys slow its heavy, i cannot think of one good thing to say about it except that ot will outlast all of us. vp race cans are the way to go. but i have never seen carb complaint race can. i hate carb compliant cans too

Look into Wedco 25 liter plastic gas cans. I have these things and they are amazing. I can fit in 7 US gallons which is perfect fo carrying. I always siphon gas into the boat with a hose but have had these containers for about 10 years and they are great. Not sure about the carb stamp thou.

I'm pretty sure these are not Carb approved, but I really like having just 2 15 gallon jugs instead of 5-6 5 gallon jugs. They can be a pain to haul around if you need to move them very far but I do it by myself all the time. I use a collapsable 2 wheel dolly to move them most of the time.

I drilled a hole in the top of the cap and dropped a 1" inside diameter hose into the jug and then drilled a smaller hole and put a small hose (1/4" maybe?) into the cap that I blow into to start the siphon. As long as the can is above the gas cap of the boat, I can dump 15 gallons in less than 2min.

If there is nothing next to them, yea, the jerry cans may tip in a truck, but in the back of an SUV it is not likely as there usually is other stuff and other cans around them. Heavy? That's the gas inside. Emptys fast, easy and no mess with the auto siphon tube.

I think it would be a huge pain to have to tilt up five gallons and pour it in like a race can.

Yea, right?
Who doesn't strap their cans down/wedge them in anyway to prevent tip over, sliding, sloshing? You've got to in the bed of a truck or a car... Complaining about jerry cans is funny.

Nice thinking TJ. I think I'm going to use you siphon setup. When you haul gas as much as I seem to its worth doing it right.

A full once can actually hold 16 gallons. It's a bit of a pain (at ~100lbs) loading them in and out of the truck but only if I had a few too many the night before. I'd so much rather make 2 trips down to the dock and be done with it though.

I've thought about getting a shaker siphon to try out but I think the hose is just too small. My set up seems to work really well and fast as long as i have the can elevated above the boat.

The small shaker siphon is good for putting a can in your car or something like that but not for putting 30 gallons in your boat. It will take forever. The squeeze method takes about 35 seconds to empty 5 gallons and the shaker takes a little over 2 minutes if I remember correctly. Keep in mind that some boats have very small openings to fill gas so that's when I use the shaker. My friends 2008 super air 220 is barely big enough to fit the tip of the gas pump in it.

above is axactly what i was talking about, just found using a rag to create the initial seal might help people... maybe not

I actually found a better way to make a seal than what I used to do in the video. If you just put the hose all the way to the bottom of the can and then place the palm of your hand about 2-3" past where the hose comes out of the can and push down on it then it will create a solid seal and your hand doesn't have to be on the neck of the can or you don't need to use a rag.

add me to this list. works great. takes 65 sec to empty 5 gal. yes i timed it. dont have to hold anything so you can get boat ready while it empties.

the siphon method always spills gas, there is gas left in the tube and it comes out/gases off, the person siphoning will watch the container of gas and no matter what they will try to get all of the gas in the tank resulting in overflow...I've seen them over and over.

get the squareish vp can and spout, put spout in fuel fill and begin pouring, open vent, set can on boat and let it pour, pick it up to empty it and there is not a drop spilled. There is no hose with fuel in it to put somewhere.

Has anyone ever been stopped by the gascan police for non carb jugs?(vp racing) Im just curious because I've never seen them. I fill mine up all the time and so far no one at AMPM has jumped out of the bushes or landed a helicopter and told me to "Drop the VP Racing Jugs!"

I've been able to get pretty close to that with my set up. The 1" ID tube makes the difference. When they come in, I'll give you one John...for some surfing lessons!

sounds like a good deal. we would love to go/hang out with yall.

i read your post. i use a 1.25 hose, OD?, . from what i read on your post i think you are getting that due to you have a bigger vent. its able to replace the displaced liquid much quicker. i bought small snap in vents off the internet for my cans. had to drill a small hole but it really sped up my empty time. anyway, thats ahhsome if you get that fast. thats double mine.

For anyone that is looking at these they WONT fit in the standard blitz cans. The inside diameter on my blitz cans is 1 1/4" and the outside diameter of these jigglers are almost 1 3/4". I had no idea they would be that big... oh well...

Every time a thread comes up like this you guys seem to make everything so complicated. Get a hose, some foam and some tape. Tape the foam to the hose so the hose reaches the bottom of your gas can. Put the hose into the can so the foam makes a seal in the spout. Squeze the gas container, break the seal, and sit back for a minute. When the can has a gallon left tip the container up and make sure the hose goes into the bottom corner. If you do it right you should end up with less than a cup of gasoline left in your gas can.

I picked up a super jiggler to test out also. I'm really curious to see if it can empty 5 gallons in 30 seconds. I currently use the 1.25" hose and siphon method and it takes 35 seconds to empty a can. I added the car vents to all my cans like in the video linked above and now it takes about 29 seconds for 5 gallons with the added air intake. I also like the vents because I can crack them and not have my cans balloon up in the heat.
